ABANDONED MOVIE MOVIE
He made it this family drama that turns into this nightmare. Some movie and TV sets are deemed too expensive to deconstruct once filming has wrapped. It doesn’t always happen in some of these scripts that you read, and I love that that was Spencer’s (Squire, the director) intention.
I really felt their pain and I believed the characters and felt for them in a really big way.Īny time you can make a heightened genre film while making people care about the characters is great. I love that it starts as just this haunted house movie and then it pivots almost immediately to more of a character-driven family drama, and then it lives in that space for a while before jettisoning back into the classic horror genre that I love.Īt the heart of it is just this family trying to take care of each other, and doing the best that they can. Gallagher: I was drawn to it because it was so intimate and it was real.

I can’t see the movie clearly anymore after reading the script, being a new mom and being in (the movie).

You don’t know whether it was in her head or whether it was the house.

I liked that being the setup and the ending is intentionally ambiguous. She’s clearly having feelings about that that she can’t control. Roberts: What I think is so interesting is that we meet my character, Sara, and she’s struggling with being a new mom.
Was that aspect interesting to you, in particular, Emma, being a new mom? People will do whatever they can to avoid moving in New York.ĭawson: Both of you have experience in the horror genre, but I don’t think I’ve seen a horror movie that has the added element of postpartum psychosis in it. John Gallagher Jr.: I live in New York City, and I feel like moving just always gets exacerbated by how weirdly scrunched everything is in the city. Now, he’s one and a half.ĭawson: John, any personal experience of moving into a new place and dealing with the difficulties of that? He was about seven months old when we filmed this. So, I very much related to the stress both times. It was funny because I moved while I was seven months pregnant and I moved again when he was three months old.
